“After twenty years as a family psychologist, I know that no one is born a good parent. But I also know that almost everyone can become one – and that everyone can become better. The role of parent to a child will be the most important role you’ll ever have in your life. It will demand wisdom, knowledge, lots of courage, and even more self-knowledge. At times it will demand more of you than you’d ever expect, but the beauty of it all is:

If you become a better parent, you will also become a better person.

It’s in other words very much worth the hard work.”

How do you get a happy child? How do you foster confidence? How do you prepare a child for sad things to come? How angry are you actually allowed to get? Which is the most common mistake parents make? And what is really the most important job of parents during a child’s infancy and adolescence?

Parental Magic is a modern-day bible for 21st century parents. In seven easy steps, psychologist and family therapist Hedvig Montgomery guides parents and guardians towards what everyone wishes for: children and adults who are content and happy with themselves – also when together.

Parental Magic is the smart and simple book that will teach you how to become the parent you wish to be.

Walter Presents, a Channel 4-backed drama service, has acquired the thriller Greyzone and will air the Cosmo Film-produced series later this year. Greyzone is created and written by Oskar Söderlund together with Morten Dragsted and Rasmus Thorsen.

Walter Presents co-founder and curator Walter Luzzolino said: “After being boxed for too many years into the ‘dead girl and moody detective’ corner, Scandi drama is in the midst of a sensational phase of creative reinvention. Greyzone is a perfect example of this: an ambitious, glossy and utterly compelling thriller which completely subverts the Homeland-style premise of a terrorist plot to tell the powerful and affecting story of the ambiguous relationship between a hostage and her captor.”

Greyzone premiered in February on the Swedish broadcaster TV4’s streaming service C More and on the Danish broadcaster TV2. The series has received outstanding reviews.
